Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

We will definitely meet again.

After making this agreement with Kazuki Komon, we split up. However, it seems like a jinx.

We know perfectly well what to do.

Right now, Qian Shulian firmly holds the switch on the bomb.

At that very moment, the horde of monsters surrounding us burst into flames, an explosion occurred, and the ceiling collapsed with a crackling sound that, to us, resembled the dying cries of those creatures.

It was Komon Kazuki! Saijo Nagi was absolutely certain that Komon Kazuki and Saida Riko had successfully completed their mission to Lake Noshu.

'Your trust in others will one day save someone.'

"I remember what Sister E said. I believe in Kazuki Komon. He can do it. I knew I wasn't wrong about him," Saijo Nagi thought to herself.

Thank you, Sister E.

Saijo Nagi reached into her pocket and touched the chocolate box. This gave her a sense of security. It had been passed from E-nee's lover to E-nee. And then from E-nee to me.

Memories of chocolate are being passed on beautifully. And I'm not fighting this battle alone.

Saijo Nagi opened the box of chocolates and took one out. Then, Chiki Rei also took one.

The two popped the chocolates into their mouths, smiles naturally spreading across their faces. Even if they were to die here, it wouldn't be the end. The memories here, like these chocolates, would undoubtedly be picked up and passed on by someone.

Yes, that must be it.

Saijo Nagi and Senju Rei locked eyes and reached for the bomb switch.

The chocolate is sweet... but has a very slight bitterness...

"It's a success! It's a success! It's a success!"

After Saijo Nagi and Senju Rei finished their 'script', the turquoise threads completely bound them. The Primal Messenger, who controlled the large hand, laughed wildly and began to tighten the net, intending to extract the Nexus Light from the bodies of these candidates.

However, just as the threads passed Saijo Nagi and Senju Rei, pulling towards Komon Kazuki, an unexpected event occurred. Komon Kazuki, who had seemingly given up struggling, suddenly appeared. The Primal Messenger peered over and, surprisingly...

They broke free?

How can this be?

A series of question marks appeared above the Primal Messenger's head. He began to try to recall the past script and found that Komon Kazuki, who had sunk into the water, was found by his girlfriend, Saita Riko, and brought ashore. Amidst her calls, he woke up and broke free from his restraints. He treated the possession by the giant as a dream and forgot about it.

No, is this reasonable?

For the first time, the Primal Messenger began to doubt his own abilities. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that his abilities would be affected by this. When would the power of the human heart be able to break through the distortion of the Primal? That would only be two humans, not a group of humans!

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

But no matter what, this human couple has now broken the 'script,' and this won't do. We need to find a way to bring them back into our grasp.

Thinking of this, the Primal Messenger activated his ability again. However, if the Primal Messenger kept staring at Komon Kazuki, he would see that when Saita Riko came into contact with Komon Kazuki, a pure white light shone in the human woman's body. The light turned into threads, changing the original 'script' into a completely different form.

Meanwhile, Kazuki Komon and Riko Saito continued to evade the TLT's pursuit. The two arrived at the former refuge of Rei Senju, but they could only hold out there for a very short time.

Just then, Kazuki Komon remembered that there seemed to be a huge ancient tunnel network beneath this street. Legend has it that in the past, when a large-scale war broke out in the world, huge tunnels were built to allow important people of the country to escape from cities that were bombed. However, the tunnels were abandoned after the war, and those who knew about them disappeared.

If he hadn't looked up some things in TLT when he helped Senju Rei build this shelter, he wouldn't have known either.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to venture into this underground network of tunnels. No matter what, only by staying alive can we continue to fight those monsters and save the world!

Speaking of which, Kazuki Komon couldn't help but recall that when he was researching this information, a colleague came to chat with him and said that the world's information was manipulated by the government. So, in the eyes of the general public, what exactly is this so-called government?

Kazuki Komon didn't think much of it at the time and simply replied that he didn't know. His colleague then continued on his own:

Governments don't actually exist. What manipulates us in the shadows isn't human, but something else entirely. They're not visible to the naked eye; they operate underground. Did you know there's a network of sealed tunnels within this city? That road connects to their strongholds, but it seems no one has ever managed to endure the hardships to reach it—

How did you know that?

Kazuki Komon asked curiously, and his colleague in pure white smiled and answered softly:

"So, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Then, feeling bewildered as if he had been tricked by a fox spirit, Kazuki Komon embarked on his journey home.

Afterwards, friends who heard the story laughed and said, "Is this a dream?" Even Kazuki Komon, the person involved, felt that it might be a dream and tilted his head in confusion.

However, when he actually walked on this tunnel, Kazuki Komon felt that it might not be a dream. From the beginning, the road had been extending downwards, and his sense of time had become numb. He couldn't estimate how far he and Riko had gone. He just felt that there was something deep inside, and he couldn't help but think that it might lead to hell. Even if it was the lair of the rulers of this world, he wouldn't be surprised.

At that moment, Kazuki Komon heard a whooshing sound in his ear, and Riko Saida felt a gentle breeze caressing her skin.

Here we go again. The wind I felt when I came in was indeed blowing from inside the tunnel. At first, I took the wind inside as a sign that this path led to the outside, but something seems off. It feels like the wind is blowing from somewhere deeper than underground. That goes against natural phenomena; it's impossible. What lies ahead...?

rustling, rustling, rustling...

Kazuki Komon and Riko Saito both stopped in their tracks. Their ears picked up some other sounds, which immediately put them on alert. They worried about what to do if the enemy was chasing them.

But just then, in the flickering light, a man rushed out. He was disheveled and covered in blood, but there was no doubt that he was just an ordinary person, more like a photographer, because he was holding a camera tightly in his hand.

Jun Himeya?

Seeing this, the Primal Messenger fell silent once again. In his script, Jun Himeya should have died long ago, so why was he here? This was completely outside the scope of the script!

Meanwhile, Minamoto no Subaru, who was hiding in the shadows, was also somewhat surprised, because he hadn't had time to interfere with Jun Himeya's side yet. In other words, Jun Himeya had struggled to this point on his own.

Inside the tunnel, after a wary exchange of information, Komon Kazuki and Himeya Jun gradually lowered their guard and prepared to leave together. The former wanted to see what lay at the end of the tunnel, while the latter wanted to use Komon Kazuki and Saito Riko's help to make everything in the camera public, because Himeya Jun was too tired and didn't think he could get out of the tunnel anymore.

So the three of them continued walking forward in silence, but then Riko Saito encountered an unexpected situation: the ground she was supposed to step on was missing.

Her body fell towards the void. Komon Kazuki and Himeya Jun instinctively tried to grab Saita Riko, but they couldn't. It was as if a huge force had pulled her down.

And so, in the dark and deep, unknown darkness that stretched to who-knows-where, the three of them continued to fall.

When Kazuki Komon, Jun Himeya, and Riko Saida woke up again, they found themselves in a lush French garden.

It is surrounded by a well-trimmed green hedge, and within its garden, white, yellow, and orange flowers are in full bloom. The flowers are frozen in their prime, a time unlike any other, and along the symmetrical central axis, a magnificent mansion stands.

This landscape painting is indeed perfect. As far as the composition is concerned, it achieves an ideal layout. It flawlessly captures the beauty of a geometrically designed courtyard. However...

This courtyard is too beautiful.

It was too beautiful to be true. Such a scene could never exist in reality. That's why the three people who saw it felt nauseous. Venus is beautiful because she is missing her arms, but this courtyard is Venus with her arms intact. This overly perfect beauty far exceeds the limits of human tolerance, and beauty beyond limits drives people mad.

"Oh, someone's here."

Suddenly, a sound came from around them. The three of them reacted immediately and looked around. Only then did they realize that three people had appeared at some point and were standing side by side, not far from them.

"You are the first human to have ever been able to roll this far."

"It is an honor to have you grace our palace with your presence."

A man in a black suit, a man in a gray suit, a middle-aged woman... they all spoke with expressionless faces. Although their mouths were opening and closing, their voices resonated directly in the minds of Jun Himeya and the other two.

The sound seemed to emanate from within their cells, and the chilling nausea made the three of them frown.

Who are these people?

"Welcome to our visit."

"You may be wondering why we came here. But don't treat it as a question."

"Why? Because we invited you in."

These words prompted Himeya Jun to speak aloud.

"You...invited us?"

"That's right. The reason I didn't kill you was simply for that purpose."

"It's so that we can enjoy a conversation here with you all."

“We can take your lives at any time.”

"That's right. There's something I have to tell you upfront."

"You are now facing your death."

The man said coldly, without changing his expression.

"To be precise, all living beings are mortal, but your deaths are already scheduled to occur immediately after our conversation ends."

"You've only had a dream on your way to the underworld."

"Please consider this conversation here as a farewell."

"Who...are you people?"

Kazuki Komon no longer cared about life or death; he stared at the three men and asked them directly.

"This question is very vague."

"It's impossible to fully understand this based on the number of your neuronal synapses."

"The three of us that you see now are our false forms, transformed into the extent that your brain can handle."

“In the past, we appeared directly in the mind of a human who seemed to understand our original form.”

"However, that human brain couldn't handle the heavy information load and collapsed."

"In your words, he has fallen into what you call a state of madness."

"How pitiful."

"Therefore, I have chosen to exist before you in this form."
